THEATRICAL.
Edwin Booth in Tragedy and
Comedy.


The very attractive bill offered by the
Booth Company at the Grand Opera
House last night, filled that theater
with another splendid audience. The
curtain rose on The Merchant of Venice,
as arranged for Mr.. Booths performan.
ces. 1t is very judicious condensa-
tion of the piece from Shakespeare
text; but preserves, in all its strength
and beauty, the main plot of
the drama. We were prepared to find
Mr.. Booths rendition of "Shylock," 4" a
study of interest and power; but we
confess that our expectations were more
than realized. He elevated the charat-
ter of the Jew from that of a mere re.
pulsive, grasping, covetous usurer, with
out any of the higher or more ennobling
instincts, to that of man careful OF
his wealth and ambitious to increase it,
but at the same time imbued with
strength of character and reso.
lateness of purpose-cruel, implacable
aud determined-that raised him to
position Of admiration; not of the lofti.
est type, but still grand in its inflexi.
bill ty of purpose. No one could make
"Shylook" an amiable character. It
would fail, because it would be ''unnatu.
raj. But Booth invested it with an in
terest which redeemed the sordid faults
of nature from which we could
expect none of the higher or more en-.
nobling attributes. Greatness is as DOS
sible in the evil as in the virtuous pas
sions; and Booth made "Shylock"
great in his hatreds and antipathies;
great in has determined purpose of re.
venge; great in his rigidity of religious
fixity; great in his contempt for the
creed which had BEEN that of the perse.
cutors of himself and his tribe. In the trial
scene he displayed his marvellous po wers
of exemplifying in his looks and facial
changes the workings of the varied pas
sions that infamed his heart. His tran
sitions were Kaleidoscope and as legible
rs print; and the stage business in this
scene was great improvement upon the
regulation routine work we have hereto
fore been used TO. The support last
night was far better than on the previous
evenings, and the piece passed off with
the most complete success.
In contrast of the traGical cast of the
Merchant of Venice, the evening was
eked cut with q most excellent stage
version of Katharine and Petruccio.
The vim and spirit that were thrown
into this light comedy by Mr.. Booth
gave the audience a fine sample of the
capacity of the great actor as come
dian. He made it most merry and en-.
joyable morceau, aud was cleverly as
sisted by Miss Emma Vaders as "Kath.
arine."
This afternoon, matinee, Hamlet. This
evening, Othelio; Mr.. Booth as "Iago."

no prisoner" and imlne diately snatched
the sixshooter out of the Lieu ienants
hsnd. ana who,.@he placed under arrest.
The Amer. can officers started for the
main street If the town. The Lieuten-
ant called on some other Mexican
soldiers concealed in the dry bed
of the creek to release him. They imme-
diately ran to the American officers and
one of the Mexicans covering Lttlepage
with his rifle demanded the release of
his Lieutenant. Sheriff Speedy COM
manded Littlepage to fire upon the sol.
